It's Rant Time RL, GET READY. | Forums

[justinman114]

First off, I just watched Office Space, so I just wanted to say: If I could just play the game at a CONSISTENT speed, that'd be great.

Yeah so I've always had game speed issues on this game, and the devs don't care, been down that road. I'm sure others have it too, sometimes the game will speed up to 2x speed when there are moving objects (fire, water, spinning saws) on the track. It's frustrating, but I manage. I have even set personal bests when it is out of control, but it usually at least stays consistent.

This new update takes this to a whole new level. Racing 3 other bikes, having burning fire, etc. is causing me to not be able to play even close to my normal level. For example, when I try to play Abandoned Mine, the game runs literally half speed until about the third jump, where it speeds up past normal to about 2x, right at the crux of the jump, slows back down mid-air, speeds back up again for the next jump, back to half speed for the remainder of the track until the very end where a nicely timed brake-tap would come in handy, if only the game didn't go to what seems like 3x speed.

Not to mention all the other BS that this update brings. On that track alone, with the PLATINUM that I somehow managed, I still didn't even beat one ghost. So far I have spent over 200 gems and I have 13 blueprints. I have not gotten a single one on the first spin, and I have beaten 3 agents 3-4 times, 2 agents many times. Yeah, it's totally cool using a bike that feels like I'm trying to drive a TRAIN on a paved road racing against 3 dudes on Mantis'. Nice.

I have had no problem with really any of the other content that has been released up to this point, but this is pretty low quality, and an OBVIOUS cash grab. WAY more obvious than all the other ones. It's pretty clear that no one really play tested this at all (probably all the focus on Fusion) and they just wanted to get something out to please us. Well, guess what, I don't think I'm speaking for myself when I say that we aren't pleased.

Fix the leaderboards, fix the already existing problems with the game. Please. I also want to encourage other riders to rant here as well, but please keep it clean and lets not go in full attack mode.

What I want most:
- No new content until you have the current issues fixed.

- The leaderboards (ALL leaderboards) recalculated, at least for the top 5000 or so. Take out the hackers while you do it. and no more of this:

- Is the Gift Box broken now, or did you nerf it to only send 5-10 tickets a day? Fix it and communicate with us what the status is

- Improved Community interaction, and not this "We are sorry and have reported your issue" bull once a month. If you want to restore our faith in you we need regular status updates on major issues we submit (ex Gift Box and Leaderboards), and whenever an update goes out, ALWAYS tell us exactly what you fixed.

Well said justin.
I am quite angry about TF since the downgraded bikes issue and everytime i think it could not get worse, they manage to surprise me.
Hopefully for them english is not my mother language so i can not really give my real and true feelings about everything we been trough and still going.
I gave few money for special offers before, thinking i was helping the development but when i see what they are doing with it i'm really disapointed.
Now my anger evaporates a bit more everyday seeing they don't really care about what we think, report and want.
For me this game is like the girl you love and you know she will only bring pain and tears to you.
You know it but you always come back.

since 2 weeks im getting 10 gifts per day 11am to 1pm and all the day the gift box empty -_- i did a ticket and i talk about it daily on fourms and i see no change i really stopped doing and showdowns cause i cant go further it also limit my time to play cause of the fuel.

I have android 5 and the game is crashing a lot. i got used to reopen the game few times till it works.
On a good day i get 20-30 gifts
my current A.N.B.A opponent right now is a hack!!! I'm just to lazy to make a ticket or spend 5 gems to get another one.

I'm happy about the new mission and that they fix buying outfits

cheers

I quit playing on Android. (sorry to all the people who were kind enough to accept my friend request, and then have me stop sending you gifts)
I quit because it became too frustrating to play with the random lag issues that screw up the gas and directional arrows. I literally can't play now,
without having to tap the gas and worry if I'm touching the D-pad at the same time. It's a dirtbike racing game, for crying out loud. How can you possibly not do both at the same time?
How can you charge people for gems, tickets, etc..., and the game is completely broken?

I started really getting into the game once I noticed the Bunker. Started progressing, building up my bike and needed some tickets because I'm the type of person that needs a few runs at a track to get to know it.
I kept thinking, how come the bike keeps screwing up? Turns out, it was these same issues that have been happening. I was lucky and they didn't really start happening to me as bad as others until the 6.26 update. Google gave me all my money back for golden tickets from that date. I didn't want to do that, but you shouldn't sell someone something when it is completely broken.

I've started playing on an old iPhone 4, and it lags a lil bit sometimes, and the brakes will turn into the gas pedal every now and then, but it's playable.
It's playable because I won't give a penny for anything. I'll click on ads to get gems etc..., but you won't get a penny from me otherwise, until things are
fixed. I quit on Android, and if it gets any worse on iOS, I'll do the same there. I imagine a lot of other people will also.

Don't even get me started on the new ads-for-gems thing...

i havent played for that long on android, but I dont get a lot of gifts even tough i think i have alot of friends on it so might be broken for me too...

But most annoying part is the controls keep breaking, specially on good runs, or in the bunker it is highly annoying to have a run killed by unresponsive controls. Only way to fix it is locking the tablet first...

I'm asking each day again for the giftbox problems...didnt even mention all the other problems... And for sure, I won't spend any money on this game, till everything is solved... If i get no golden tickets, i wont buy a bundle or what so ever

Normally, I'd see hackers speed off by having more acceleration, or disappear and reappear somewhere else. It's like RL decided to use hacker ghosts to have everyone race against with the Syndicate thing.

[Chadwers]

Hi guys and thanks for the feedback! It really is highly appreciated and valued, so my apologies if it currently feels like it's not. I wanted to personally comment on the Syndicate ghost difficulty concerns and hopefully bring some light to the situation. For this event we experimented with a new system that pulls the ghosts from the leaderboard, based on your individual performance on the track. So no, we're not manually choosing the ghosts to be as difficult as possible. Obviously with a system like this finding the sweet spot for balance can be tricky, since our players have such different skill levels. Clearly some mistakes were made on our side and our more dedicated players are getting paired with insanely challenging ghosts, based on their highly tuned times with bikes they're familiar with.

We're working on tweaking the balance to a better direction so hopefully I'll have more news on this soon. Thanks for your patience.
